Artwork Upload and Design Requirements

Artwork Upload

  • Send your artwork to us via the Yousendit file transfer service by clicking the green "SEND IT" button below. Large files may take several minutes for the transfer to complete. Do not e-mail artwork because the files are usually too large to pass through our e-mail server.

Artwork Design Requirements


Before you begin:

  • All images should be proofed, color corrected, and adjusted to your standards prior to submission.
  • Include copies of your logo or client's logo, identity standards, and requirement manual if available.
  • Designate the CMYK color code for logos, graphics, and word marks.

One Color Imprint:

File Format: Vector artwork, with text converted to outlines. Adobe Illustrator (AI) or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) are preferred, but Portable Document Format (PDF) is also acceptable.
Color: CMYK
Resolution: Vector
Text font size: 8 pt bold minimum
Imprint size: Actual size
Template: Please contact us for a design template.
How to submit: Artwork must be submitted using our YouSendIt artwork upload tool, which can be found by clicking the green "SEND IT" button at the top of this page.

Custom Lenticular:

File Format: Adobe Photoshop (PSD) is the preferred format. We also accept Adobe Illustrator (AI), Portable Document Format (PDF), JPEG, and TIFF formats. If artwork is submitted in vector format, all text must be converted to outlines.
Color: CMYK
Resolution: 300 dpi or higher
Text font size: 8 pt bold minimum
Image size: Actual item size plus bleed (see bleed requirements below)
Bleed: For flip and animation effects: 0.125 inch on all sides
For 3D depth effect: 0.5 inch left and right, 0.125 inch top and bottom
Layer Layout: For flip and animation effects: Create 2 to 12 layers, one for each different frame. Layers must be named "Frame 1", "Frame 2", "Frame 3", etc. Layers must be placed in exact sequence required to acheive the proper flip or animation.

For 3D depth effect: Create 9 layers, one for each different object in the image. Layers must be named "4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4" and placed in the exact sequence stated. Place the closest object in layer 4 and the background in layer -4, while filling all layers in between with various other objects and patterns. Please contact us if you need any assistance, as the 3D depth effect is by far the hardest Lenticular effect to design.
